Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 3 cups (510 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter
Binding Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup (60 grams) flour
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5 grams) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5 grams) salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and thoroughly grease a 9-inch (23-centimeter) pie plate or springform pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by melting of chocolate chips with unsalted butter in a heat-resistant bowl, using either a double boiler or microwave method. Stir every 30 seconds until completely blended, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Using an electric mixer, whip eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together at medium-high speed for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light, airy, and slightly pale in color.
- Incorporate the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently until fully combined, being careful not to overmix and deflate the batter.
- Gradually fold in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until ingredients are integrated. Gently fold in the remaining of chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and ensure an even surface.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for subtle signs of doneness: a slightly puffed center and potential surface cracks indicating the brownie pie is nearly complete.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, which helps it set and develop a rich, fudgy texture. Optional: Serve with a drizzle of hot fudge sauce for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and prevent a tough texture.
- Letting the chocolate and butter cool prevents scrambling the eggs when combining.
- Achieving a fluffy egg mixture creates a lighter, more delicate brownie pie texture.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly and create consistent results.
- Springform pan works best for easy removal and clean slicing of the pie.
